After leaving the restaurant, they headed straight to Graceland, home of "The King" Elvis Presley.

They were both so excited. Someone was nice enough to take a picture of them standing in front of the famous gate. Tim put his arm around Avi's shoulder and Avi slipped his around Tim's waist. 

If anyone didn't know any better, they would have thought they were honeymooners.

Tim quickly sent some of the pictures to Austin, including the one of him and Avi standing in front of the gate.

Austin was quick to answer.

Freckles: WOW!! THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!! And SO IS THE GUY YOU'RE WITH!!! YOU BETTER GET SOME OF THAT!!!  XD

Tim chuckles as he reads the text.

"That was quick." Avi laughs. "What did he say?"

"Uh, he said it was beautiful. And that you weren't too bad yourself." Tim says as he starts to text Austin back.

"Wow, I like him already." Avi laughs.

*text*

Timmy: He is definitely beautiful. Payback time!! Let me see this Adam!!

Freckles: You ready for this?? Feast your eyes on this!!

Tim almost drops his phone.

"Holy crap!" He mumbles.

"What is it?" Avi asks.

Tim pulls just the picture (no text) up for Avi to see.

"This is Adam, Austin's roommate." Tim says.

"Holy Moly! He's a cutie.' Avi smiles.

Tim smirks as he text.

Timmy: D*mn, Kid!! Guess I'd be wasting my breath telling you that you need to 'ride' that. LOL!

Freckles: True!!  XD  As a matter of fact, I JUST DID!!

Timmy: TMI. BYE!!!!!!!!

Freckles: Love ya! Stay safe.

Timmy: Love you too!!

Tim slips his phone back into his pocket. He would not admit to himself that he felt a slight sting of jealousy when Avi said that Adam was cute.

Why couldn't he break this wall down that he had built around his heart and allow himself to fall in love with this guy?

Tim glances over at Avi as they were walking back to the car from touring Graceland.

Austin was right. He was beautiful. The prettiest green eyes he had ever seen. His long wavy hair hanging down his back. And the face of an angel. He was perfect in every sense. 

He would give anything just to take the bearded angel into his arms and make love to him. But would he be acting on his feelings for Avi or just performing an act that he was trained to do.

"Are we heading to Beale Street next?" Avi asks, bringing Tim out of his thoughts.

"Uh, Yeah." Tim nods as they get into the car.

"By the time we get there, it should really be cranking up." Avi smiles.

"That's good, cause I need a beer." Tim chuckles.

"I hear that beer on Beale Street flows like a river." Avi smirks.

"Well, Hell. What are we waiting for?" Tim laughs.

~~

After finally finding a parking place two blocks away, they make their way to the busy street.

Barricades sealed off the street from traffic, for good reason. The street was crowded with people partying. The sidewalks were crowded with people bar-hopping. Vendors lined the street handing out free beer. Street corner musicians played for tips.

"Wow, Tim breathes as they walk through the barricade. "This is how I picture Heaven."

"Don't you mean Hell." Avi laughs.

"Stay close. If we get separated, we'll never find each other." Tim says as he takes Avi by the hand.

Avi looks down at their hands and smiles.

"IT'S LOUD!" Avi shouts over the music.

"THIS IS DEFINITELY PARTY CENTRAL!" Tim yells, leaning closer to Avi. "A PROSTITUTE COULD MAKE SOME AWESOME MONEY HERE!" He laughs.

They got a couple of beers in red Dixie cups and begin to weave their way through the crowded street. Tim finally had to put his arm around Avi to pull him closer as the crowd got thicker.

Avi smiles and puts an arm around Tim, slipping his hand into Tim's back pocket.  Tim looks down at him with a raised brow. Avi laughs as he playfully squeezes Tim's butt.

"THAT'S A $20 SQUEEZE RIGHT THERE, BUDDY!" Tim leans over and yells over the music.

"DAAAANNGGG! YOU'RE EXPENSIVE!" Avi laughs.

Tim smirks and shrugs his shoulders.

"I GOT $3. WHAT WILL THAT GET ME?" Avi chuckles.

Tim thought for a moment then leans over and taps himself on the cheek.

Avi giggles as he brushes back Tim's hair and places a kiss on his cheek.

Tim smirks as he holds out his hand for payment.

"UH, IT'S IN THE CAR, IN MY COAT POCKET!" Avi says.

"UGH, RIP-OFF!" Tim laughs and shakes his head.

Avi bumps him with his hip.

A beautiful young girl in a very skimpy attire comes staggering up to them.

"Well, Hello there, Gorgeous." She slurs as she runs a finger down Tim's chest. "$20 for a blowjob?"

"Twenty bucks? Are you kidding me? Honey, you ain't gonna make no money that way." Tim chuckles shaking his head. "Hell, down in Texas, you can't get a hand job for no lest than fifty bucks."

"TIM!" Avi laughs as he pulls Tim away.

"Can you believe that? That girl is going nowhere." Tim says glancing over his shoulder at the girl as she staggers up to a group of men.

"Well, maybe she's not as talented or experienced as you are." Avi says.

"Think so?" Tim asks.

"Well, I wouldn't know, now would I." Avi says looking up into Tim's brown eyes.

Tim bites his lip and quickly looks away.

An old black man sitting in a chair on the sidewalk with a guitar catches Tim's eye. He leads Avi over in that direction.

The old man was singing 'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King.

Tim reaches into his pocket and pulls out a couple of dollars and leans over to stick it inside a can the man had in front of him. He couldn't help but notice that the can was full of cash. Not only ones but also fives, tens and even twenties. Probably from big spending drunks.

The man smiles at Tim and nods a thank you as he continued to sing. The old man's voice was cracked from age but he did his best to hit the notes.

Avi stood beside Tim with a smile on his face as he listened.

Tim glances back down at the can as someone dropped another ten into it. 

You could almost hear the wheels start turning in his head.
